USF in South Africa
As part of this Spring 2012 program and its four-week Summer
fieldwork component, students experience the challenges facing post-apartheid
South Africa. Students will have
the opportunity to engage in direct service learning, working primarily with
organizations that help the development of street children and individuals with
AIDS. This intense program will
give students a broad understanding of the present day South African social
context through developing relationships with South African activists,
academics, other students and everyday South Africans. Students will visit townships, rural
communities, and urban development centers working towards social justice and
solidarity.
